[SOLVED] How to change Author name in Media Library?

In WP Dashboard-Media Library, there's a list of all the photos you've upload and the name of the author (admin). Can I change the name of the author?

The reason I want to do this is because when I click a photo in a post, it first goes to another page that has the name of the photo file, and underneath it says "By admin". I want it to show either the name of the Editor, or simply delete the name altogether.

this is not a theme issue, this falls under WordPress and you m,ay want to ask at http:wordpress.org

That said you may want to search for a plugin that will do that. the only way I can think of is to go in and edit rows in the database...a dangerous thing if you don't know what you are doing.

Ok, I have solved the problem. I just have to change the info in ATO-EDIT POST/PAGE INFO ITEM "BYLINE: Single Post Pages", that's what I meant. The photo page I was referring to is considered a Single Post Page. Although, if I change the Single Post Pages info, ALL single posts change as well, whether it's a photo page or an actual post page. But I guess that's a compromise I'll have to make.
